So far I have done:
Ohlins coilovers. lighter than stock steel ones.
Lighter/wider wheels/tires
FIGS/RB 2-piece brake rotors
Replaced Misc. nuts and bolts with titanium, Ti banjo bolt and bleeder valves for the brake calipers. And still not done.
I'm assuming the DCTM flat bottom steering wheel also weighs less than stock![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
On order:
Meisterschaft Full titanium exhaust
will order when available:
TRD Underbody brace and aero (aluminum and CF/aluminum honeycomb, weigh less than factory parts)
TRD CF rear brace to replace factory steel one.
The front shock tower braces don't weigh much, I imagine the TRD CF replacement will weigh more.

I should get a full dry weight of my whole car for a baseline...then after all is said and done, weigh it again for the results.

Yeah, if you can weigh them and then let me know so I can update my OEM weight/spec thread, that would be great. I am still undecided what coilovers I want to go with. Looking at the Ohlins/Figs or Penske/RRRacing setup. Both are really good setups and save weight over the factory OEM setup. I am also undecided on the Figs 2-piece brake kit or the RRRacing 2-piece kit (still waiting for those details). Leaning more to the Fig setup for the 2-piece kit.
